Mirror's Edge 2 is (Probably) Coming

Several sources state that DICE is currently working on Mirror's Edge 2.

You know what I love? Parkour. You know what I can't actually do? Parkour. Hence, I love me some Mirror's Edge. That's why, when Eurogamer spotted ngmoco Sweden's general manager Ben Cousin's tweet saying "It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE," I got rather excited.

All this on the heels of an interview with OXM, where DICE VP Patrick Soderlund stated that it is a game they are interested in making. The hits just keep on coming.

Of course, this is all a bit of hearsay, but the evidence is rather strong. Despite not selling terribly well upon release, Mirror's Edge was one of my favorite games of 2008, and there is a heck of a lot of potential for a sequel. Just get rid of some of the dumber story bits, and you've got one heck of a game on your hands. Oh, and avoid the urge to go open-world. Linearity works here.
